Ingredients:

1kg ripe red tomatoes
500g sugar
lemon juice

Method:

Blanch the tomatoes in boiling water, peel, de-seed and chop. Add the tomatoes to a pan with the sugar. Bring to a boil, and cook for 20 minutes, or until the tomatoes break down and thicken to a smooth sauce. Add the lemon juice to taste then test for setting by adding a spoonful of the jam to a plate cooled in the fridge. If the jam forms a skin when pushed with a finger then it's ready. If not continue boiling for another five minutes and test again.

When ready spoon the jam into jars or pots that have been sterilized and warmed in an oven pre-heated to 110°C for 10 minutes. Seal the jars immediately and store in a cool, dark, place for at least a month before opening.
